EDID Control

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure that is used between a display and a source. This data is
used by the source to find out what audio and video resolutions are supported by the display then from this information the
source will discover what the best audio and video resolutions need to be outputted.
While the objective of EDID is to make connecting a digital display to a source a simple plug and play procedure issues do
arise when multiple displays or video matrix switching is introduced because of the increased number of variables.
By pre-determining the video resolution and audio format of the source and display device you can reduce the time need
for EDID hand shaking thus making switching quicker and more reliable.
Configuration of the EDID settings can be achieved in one of three ways:
1 Via the Web GUI
2 Using Matrix Front Panel Buttons (For further details see page 6)
3 Using Supplied ELAN Matrix IR Remote Control (For further details see page 13)
